The Limitless came out yesterday evening and made the long treacherous passage to St Barts where it is sitting this A.M.The beautiful boat Atessa lV sailed a couple of days ago. Ah to have a few extra 100-250 million to spend on a raft!!!

Both were impressive but boy oh boy - the Yalla was in a big hurry. We thought it was going to take out the boats in front of it and the bridge. Great to watch over mimosas and breakfast.

Took more pictures this year of them then in the past 18 years all together. Room 8304, what a great location for watching. Also for the first time I rented a boat at the Boathouse from Ray and Bonnie. I rode all over the Lagoon and really got some great pics of all the Yachts for the two weeks I was there. Also took the boat over to Marigot and ate at La Belle �poque. For $100.00 for a half a day it was cool. I would definitely do the boat rental thing again. Would take some fishing poles next time.
